Public bug reported: Binary package hint: grub-installer
Installing newest Ubuntu Lucid using latest netboot image. Using a preseed file to setup a software RAID system. A specific question gets asked (see screenshot) : "Do you want to boot your system if your RAID becomes degraded?" This essentially asks me if I want grub on both disks or only the first one. I found the preseedable value grub-installer/bootdev, which basically lists devices on which you want to have the bootloader installed. My value for a manual answer of yes (retrieved later by debconf-get-selections --installer) was "/dev/sda /dev/sdb". Manually populating my preseed file with this line: d-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sda /dev/sdb Did not work. I also tried populating it with only d-i grub-installer/bootdev string /dev/sda and it still asks the question. >From what I understand from the code, this is because it is a "critical" >question, asked by grub-installer on line 720: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/ubuntu/lucid/grub-installer/lucid/annotate/head%3A/grub-installer?start_revid=80 db_input critical grub-installer/bootdev || true >From what I understand (and I'm no d-i expert!), it simply asks for the value, without checking if it's present first (In my opinion, db_input should check first and ask if it's not populated). ** Affects: grub-installer (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- preseeded grub-installer/bootdev ignored by grub-installer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563953 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
